Let’s resolve into factors
x(x + 3)(x + 6)(x + 9) + 56
x(x + 9)(x + 3)(x + 6) + 56
= (x2 + 9x) (x2 + 6x + 3x + 18) + 56
= (x2 + 9x) (x2 + 9x + 18) + 56
Let x2 + 9x = a
= a (a + 18) + 56
= a2 + 18a + 56
= a2 + 14a + 4a + 56
=a(a + 14) + 4(a + 14)
= (a + 4)(a + 14)
Put back the values to get,
= (x2 + 9x + 4)( x2 + 9x + 14)
= (x2 + 9x + 4)( x2 + 7x + 2x + 14)
= (x2 + 9x + 4)[( x(x + 7) + 2(x + 7)]
= (x2 + 9x + 4)(x + 2)(x + 7)
